The history behind Assassin’s Creed

When I first started to play Assassins Creed it was very annoying to land between 5-7 foes as it would lock on some of them and I could not escape. And frantically pressing the mouse button and E didn’t worked out either.

I gathered some more courage for the latest installment, which takes place in 1770s (during American Revolution) and I kinda liked the whole thing. Mostly the ship hunting, actually. Since I heard about the fact that the guys at Ubisoft tried to recreate the atmosphere of those times the best they could I wanted to know more about the history behind Assassin’s Creed.

It turn out that the Assassins existed for a brief period of time between 11th and 14th Century, but the Templars still exist as a ideological entity throughout the world today (freemasons, anyone?).
